SS Golf Abbreviation

Sand Save

Sand Save (SS) is a golf statistic that tracks a player's ability to successfully recover from a greenside bunker and still make par or better on a hole. A sand save typically involves:

- Escaping the bunker in one stroke, ideally landing close to the hole.

- Making the subsequent putt to complete the up-and-down for par.

A high SS percentage indicates strong bunker play and short-game skills. Players work on controlling loft, spin, and bunker shot mechanics to improve their sand save success rate, helping them avoid unnecessary strokes and maintain consistency in scoring.
